What a car!

Great handling, there is nothing like rear wheel drive. Adequate power, not like recent 700 hp monsters, but enough for anything except 1/4 mi runs down a drag strip. Great for autocross. An excellent daily driver that won't embarrass you on a track.

While fun to drive, the stiff suspension makes this car jerk around the road while traversing the normal bumps and lumps in city driving. Performamnce is good otherwise.

Have had this car for 1 year and 7 months. Car has been very reliable zero mechanical problems Tremic T-45 trans does like to rake at high rpms could use a better gear 3.73 or higher engine is silky smooth with very high rpm band was previous owner of LS-1 trans am. Trans am would eat it for lunch!!! Car is somewhat rattly could use better build quality.Handling is good, cupholder position isnt, cd player likes to skip on bumpy roads.
